Ye Xinran went to see Gong Yu as soon as possible after coming back.
Gong Yu asked the people around him to leave, leaving only his niece alone. He asked uneasily:
"How did the talks go? Are they willing to sign a peace agreement?"
Ye Xinran said nothing and presented the recording with both hands.
She was afraid that she could not explain clearly what the Murong family asked her to tell her, and she was afraid that her uncle would not trust her, so she started recording as soon as she entered the manor.
Gong Yu glanced at his niece, raised his hand to take the recording, and pressed the play button.
After a while, the voices of Murong Nan, Murong Qi and Ye Che came out.
In the first half, the nephew's negotiation failed.
The sound of Ye Shengsheng appeared in the second half.
Gong Yu's already nervous heart suddenly became tense.
After listening to Ye Shengsheng plead for him and her two brothers, he suddenly felt a mixed feeling in his heart, which was very unpleasant.
He had always thought that except for Ye Shengsheng, who was kind to the people around her, she had always been very unkind to others.
Unexpectedly, she actually interceded on his behalf.
When the final result was that Murong Nan asked him to find the whereabouts of the crashed plane and then sign a peace agreement, Gong Yu was stunned.
Let him find the whereabouts of the crashed plane?
Where is he looking?
The plane might have exploded into ashes before it even touched the ground. If he was asked to find it before signing a peace agreement, wouldn't it be forcing him to die?
"Uncle, this is their biggest concession. You should quickly send people to find the crashed plane. As long as its wreckage is found, the Murong family can return our rights and freedom."
Ye Xinran said excitedly.
Gong Yu held the recording in his hand and gently closed his eyes. His handsome and extraordinary face was extremely pale.
He waved his niece down.
Ye Xinran said nothing more and turned to leave.
As soon as she left, Gong Yu received a call from Murong Qi from City A.
On the phone, Murong Qi said:
"We only give you one month. If you can't get it back within one month, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Gong Yu's eyes were gloomy and his voice was hoarse, "Aren't you afraid that if you mess around, I'll kill your family members?"
Murong Qi smiled, "Try it, the dozens of members of my Murong family are more important than your royal family and the entire country E.
Gong Yu, from the moment you have the ambition to rebel, you should know the price you will pay if you fail.
You will eventually use your death to restore peace to the entire E country."
"Can my death bring back the independence of my royal family?"
Murong Qi snorted coldly, "What? You know that the plane can't be found, right?"
Gong Yu did not deny it.
Murong Qi didn't know that if the plane was lost for more than a week and could not be found, it basically crashed into the vast sea. Unless the sea water was drained to search for it, it would be impossible to find it again.
The eldest brother knew this and deliberately used this reason to compromise in front of Sheng Sheng.
Obviously, Gong Yu could not meet their requirements, and all the power that Gong Yu had obtained that belonged to his royal family had to be returned.
The Murong family can lose anything, but they must not lose the country of E, the power and status that their father has worked hard to gain throughout his life.
"Okay, I'll help you find it in a month."
Gong Yu agreed to what the other party said and hung up the phone.
Of course he knew he would never find the plane.
He sent someone to place a time bomb on the plane, which would explode as soon as the plane entered country E's territory.
The explosion area was over the Dead Sea.
No matter how talented the Ren Murong family is, they can't find the wreckage of the plane.
How could Gong Yu have thought that he made a mistake in his plan and ended up shooting himself in the foot?
In a month's time, he would definitely not be able to get what Murong Qi and Murong Nan wanted, and by then the two brothers would definitely use the military talismans in their hands.
Use their most cruel and violent methods to take back country E.
Not far away, General Cheng An came to report, "Your Excellency, Duke."
Gong Yu raised his head in a daze and looked over.
General Cheng An stepped forward with a serious look on his face, "Everything around country E is monitored by the Murong family forces, and we have no way to go out to seek rescue.
If there is a fight, we have no chance of winning."
For the sake of the people, they will definitely not use force easily.
General Cheng An's intention was to hope that Gong Yu could negotiate peace with the other party.
After all, we are all from E country, why should we fight each other with swords?
How could Gong Yu not know that he hadn't solved Murong Nan and obtained the military talisman that could mobilize thousands of troops, so what if he could take back the power of country E? He wouldn't be counterattacked.
When the time comes, he will not only lose, but also lose miserably.
"I understand, go down."
Gong Yu waved his hand, but even his voice was weak.
General Cheng An advised:
"If we and the Murong family are really going to go to war with each other, my lord, I still hope that you can consider the people and sign a peace treaty."
That is to say, return all power to the Murong family as before, and the royal family will continue to be the puppets of the Murong family and be manipulated by them for the rest of their lives.
Otherwise, their country e will face a catastrophic disaster.
Gong Yu closed his eyes again in despair, holding back the collapse of his heart, and growled, "Leave, I know how to deal with it."
Before leaving, General Cheng An reminded again, "You are the one who started this chaos, and you should bear the responsibility yourself."
"I asked you to leave, didn't you hear me? Let's go."
Feeling overwhelmed by the life-and-death burden of the entire country, Gong Yu became so angry that he picked up the teacup next to him and threw it at General Cheng An.
General Cheng An had no choice but to turn around and exit the hall.
Gong Yu looked at the entire empty and gorgeous hall. There was no one, and it was so quiet that the only sound was his heavy breathing.
He stood up and walked forward with stumbling steps.
When he reached the center of the hall, he suddenly fell to his knees and burst into tears.
Why is he so useless?
As the heir to the royal family, he has been monitored by the Murong family since he was five years old.
Even though he gave up his right to inherit the royal family and followed his eldest sister to City A to live an ordinary life, he still couldn't escape and was captured by Murong Qi.
He really just wants to get back the dignity that belongs to his royal family, why is it so difficult?
Three members of the Murong family died, but he still couldn't deal with Murong Nan and Murong Qi.
Is his royal destiny meant to be like this, that he will be the puppet of the Murong family for the rest of his life?
He is unwilling, unwilling...
Kneeling on the ground, I don't know if my hand accidentally pressed the button of the recorder, but a sound suddenly came from the recorder.
Gong Yu calmed down, sat on the ground and adjusted the recording to the part where Ye Shengsheng pleads for him.
Listening to the voice of the woman he had been in love with for eight years.
Gong Yu fell in the middle of the hall, staring blankly at the resplendent ceiling, and tears fell line by line from the corners of his eyes.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the girl's pretty face bloomed brilliantly in his mind.
For a long time, thinking about the past, he smiled sadly again.
After sitting up, Gong Yu put away the recorder, arranged his clothes and left the hall.
He went to get the divorce agreement that he had prepared, and when he came to the door of Murong Zhengzheng's room, the servant nodded and reported:
"Your Majesty, the lady is still wet."
Gong Yu waved them all to leave, and he strode into the room.
He came to Murong Zhengzheng's big bed and saw her curled up in the quilt, motionless. He sat on the edge of the bed and said calmly:
"As you wish, I failed."
After hearing this, Murong Zhengzheng, who was nestled in the quilt, stuck out his head and looked at Gong Yu.
Seeing that his eyes were scarlet and his eyelashes were still moist, she knew he had shed tears.
Sitting up, Murong Zhengzheng raised her hand to hold his hand.
"When I meet my brother, let's go and confess to the eldest brother and the third brother. Even if we die, we will die together, okay?"
My parents are dead, and my second brother is also dead.
Now that Gong Yu has failed, the eldest brother and the third brother will definitely not let him go.
Blood debt must be paid with blood, so let her accompany her brother Yu to confess this crime, and use her life to repay the Murong family for their kindness in raising her over the years.
She would never let her Yu brother die alone.
Gong Yu showed no emotion, took off Murong Zhengzheng's hand and handed her the divorce agreement.
"You signed, and even if you get divorced, you should still have the title of Duchess. From now on, the royal family will be your home. I will leave to pay for the sins I have committed."
General Cheng An was right, he was the one who started the trouble, and he should bear the responsibility himself.
If he could sacrifice his own life in exchange for the independence of the royal family and the safety of the people of Country E, he would be willing to do so.
"What did you say?"
Murong Zhengzheng was shocked when she saw the divorce agreement handed over by Gong Yu.
She hurriedly threw away the divorce agreement, raised her arms to hug Gong Yu, and cried:
"No, brother Yu, don't leave me behind. Take me with you. Don't leave me here alone, okay?"
Gong Yu stood up, insisted on pulling Murong Zhengzheng's hand away, and left her behind.
"Don't do this...when you meet your brother..."
Murong Zhengzheng jumped out of bed and wanted to get up and chase after him, but because she hadn't eaten for several days, she was so weak that she couldn't stand up and chase after him.
In the end, I could only lie on the ground, looking at Gong Yu's distant back, crying and shouting:
"When I meet my brother, when I meet my brother, don't leave me behind. When I meet my brother..."
Gong Yu never looked back, and Xin Chang's back disappeared into the long bedroom.
…
a city.
Seven days after Mrs. Murong died, her body was sent to the funeral parlor by Murong Nan and others for cremation.
What was finally carried back to the manor was just a jar of ashes that dissipated in the wind.
After enshrining his mother's ashes on the temporary incense, Murong Nan called Murong Qi to the study.
They want to keep it secret and take back country E as soon as possible.
The month given to Gong Yu was just to let him relax his vigilance.
Within this week, Murong Nan ordered his third brother to return to Country E so that his mother's ashes could be sent back to her homeland.
Murong had already deployed the forces surrounding Country E, and only waited for an opportunity to take action immediately.
"This matter must be kept secret, otherwise she will think that we are cruel and cruel, and she will not be willing to go back with us when the time comes."
Murong Nan warned.
It's not that he doesn't want to let go of Gong Yu, country E is the empire left to them by their father. If it is lost in the hands of the two brothers, how can it be worthy of their father.
What's more, only by taking back country E, can my father, mother, and second brother sleep peacefully on that land.
Murong Qi responded, "I understand."
She was kind-hearted and didn't want them to be in danger, and he could understand that.
But as the son of the Murong family, how could he choose to retreat and abandon the empire that his father had worked so hard to build?
This time, he will make Gong Yu pay a heavy price.
"You go and have a rest early. We will set off early tomorrow morning. Remember to avoid Sheng Sheng's sight as much as possible."
Getting up, Murong Nan was ready to leave the study.
Murong Qi stood up and said, "Okay, brother, don't worry, take good care of your sister-in-law and children. I promise to complete the mission and return the military talisman to you when I come back."
Murong Nan said "hmm" and left the study.
In recent days, even though they had taken turns to keep vigil for the three deceased relatives, each one of them was exhausted and exhausted.
It wasn't until he returned to the room and lay beside his pregnant wife that Murong Nan felt a little comfort in his heart.
He hugged Tang Yining and whispered in her ear:
"Honey, you have worked hard during this time."
Tang Yining felt that he was the one who had the hardest time.
She raised her arms and hugged him to her chest, "Anan, I know you have been very tired and in pain recently. Now that your mother has settled down, you should have a good rest first."
"Well, I'm going to sleep first. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to call me."
He is really sleepy.
It seems that if you don't sleep, you may die suddenly at any time.
For the sake of his baby and wife, he must live well.
"I know, just go to sleep."
Tang Yining hugged him and coaxed him softly like a big child.
…
Ye Shengsheng and Ye Che's room.
The couple had just returned to their room with their little dumpling in their arms to get ready for bed, when there was a knock on the door.
Murong Qi shouted into the room:
"Shengsheng, are you asleep?"
Ye Shengsheng went to open the door in her pajamas. Looking at the third brother standing at the door, she asked:
"What's wrong?"
Murong Qi thought that he would have to deal with Gong Yu early tomorrow morning, and he didn't know whether this farewell would be bad or bad.
Although he was very sure of defeating Gong Yu, what if something happened...
He just wanted to come and see his sister, and wanted to...
After being bored for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you contact Forsythia?"
Ye Shengsheng shook his head.
"I couldn't contact her. I tried just now, but Ye Che's people sent her to the countryside and came back and said that Forsythia wanted to stay there for a while and told us not to worry."
Murong Qi understood, nodded and said, "Okay, then you should rest early."
"Um."
Seeing that the third brother looked very bad, Ye Shengsheng comforted him:
"Third brother, we still have a long way to go, so walk slowly. I will always be with you and eldest brother."
Murong Qi smiled happily and said, "Okay."
Raising his hand and patting his sister on the shoulder, he signaled, "Go back and rest. I'm going to rest too."
"OK, good night."
"Good night."
After watching his third brother leave, Ye Shengsheng turned around and returned to the room, sitting next to Ye Che.
Ye Che was coaxing his son to sleep, and when he saw voices coming over, he asked:
"Does he want to go to the country to find Forsythia?"
Ye Shengsheng shook his head, "I don't know, if the third brother wants to go to the countryside to look for Forsythia, then I won't go.
If he doesn't go, I would like to take some time to go to the countryside to see Forsythia."
By the way, take a look to see if her Lian Lian is there.
